Kong Token
Kong Tokens[1] areitems inDonkey Kong Land. They are largecoins roughly the size of theKongs that depictDonkey Kong's head on a side andDiddy Kong's head on the other side. Kong Tokens commonly appear throughout everylevel, where their placement can include areas that require effort to reach, hidden areas (includingBonus Levels), and even in plain sight. Kong Tokens are used in certain Bonus Level challenges to be launched from a quickly movingButton Barrel individually for the player character to collect. Catching a Kong Token awards an extra life. The Button Barrel stops releasing Kong Tokens once all of them have been used up. The game does not save the number of collected Kong Tokens, so resetting the game causes the player to lose every collected Kong Token.
